Our story
We are two artists with a shared passion for fine craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
When a friend of ours got engaged and asked us to help her create a light-hearted invitation suite that reflected the music and energy of her and her husband’s New Orleanian roots, we had too much fun bringing it to life. We realized our combined backgrounds in illustration, painting, and graphic design was the perfect recipe for creating one-of-a-kind, custom invitations.
We blend artistry with intention, creating paper goods that feel as special as the moments they celebrate.
From hand-illustrated details to carefully selected materials, we believe in the beauty of high-quality, meaningful design—because the first impression of your celebration should be as unforgettable as the day itself.
